| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in interneuron migration; regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; generation of neurons; and lens morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; large intestine; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human SOX1 (SRY-box transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants exhibit lens opacity associated with a lack of gamma crystallin expression, microphthalmia, episodic seizures, sexual dysfunction, impaired maternal nurturing, and reduced lifespan.
